Hungary was represented at theEurovision Song Contest 2018. The localMedia Services and Support Trust Fund (MTVA) and the Hungarian broadcasterDuna Media Service organised the national finalA Dal 2018 in order to select the Hungarian entry for the 2018 contest inLisbon, Portugal.
Prior to the 2018 contest, Hungary had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fourteen times since its first entry in1994.[1] Hungary's best placing in the contest was fourth, which they achieved with their début entry in1994 with the song "Kinek mondjam el vétkeimet?" performed byFriderika Bayer. Hungary had attempted participate in the contest in1993, however, their entry was eliminated in the preselection showKvalifikacija za Millstreet. Hungary withdrew from the contest for six years between 1999 and 2004 and also missed the 2006 and 2010 contests. In2014, Hungary achieved their second best result in the contest since their début, placing fifth with the song "Running" performed byAndrás Kállay-Saunders. In2016, Hungary placed 19th in the Eurovision final with the song "Pioneer" performed byFreddie.Next year they managed to finish in the top 10 again, now in the 8th place with "Origo" sang byJoci Pápai.
The Hungarian national broadcaster,Media Services and Support Trust Fund (MTVA), broadcasts the event within Hungary and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. MTVA confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest on 10 October 2017. Since 2012, MTVA has organisedA Dal, a national selection show which has managed to, thus far, produce entries that have qualified the nation to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest each year and has resulted in three top 10 placings in2013,2014 and2017.
A Dal 2018 was the seventh edition of the Hungarian national selectionA Dal, which selected Hungary's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The competition consisted of 30 entries competing in three heats, two semi-finals, and a final. The hosts wereKriszta Rátonyi andFreddie.
The jury panel consisted of four people:
On 10 October 2017, MTVA opened the submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries up until 20 November 2017.[2][3][4]
Among the qualifiers, there are some artists and bands who made their comeback toA Dal-stage. Ceasefire X and Péter Szikszai (male part of Maya ‘n’ Peti) competed in2016 as part of the boyband ByTheWay. Viki Eszes is in the running now with #yeahla, and took part in the past two times: in2013 with the band Background, and in2017 as part of The Couple. The Fourtissimo participated in A Dal once before; in2015 they performedRun to You along Gyula Éliás.Gábor Heincz Biga andViktor Király are no similar names in the national selection as well, they were part of the first ever A Dal-superfinal in2012; the former with his songLearning to Let Go, and the latter with his siblings, performedUntried. Then in2014 Viktor went on as a solo artist withRunning Out of Time. Gabi Knoll took part in the2014 national selection with her songSweet Memories, but did not advance to the next round.Attila Kökény was the very first entrant of A Dal in2012 with Tamara Bencsik. The lead singer of the bandLeander Kills took part in the show before at two occasions: in2015 with his former band called Leander Rising, and in2017 with the existing formation, with the song calledÉlet.Maszkura és a tücsökraj competed inA Dal 2016, and gained the worst ever public score in the heats, scoring only 4 out of the maximum 10. This has since been given twice more in 2018, in the second semifinal for the entries sung by Cintia Horváth & Tomi Balogh andNikoletta Szőke,Attila Kökény and Róbert Szakcsi Lakatos.The Noémo's lead singer, Noémi Takácsová "BülBüls" sangMinden mosoly in2014, while Odett was a wildcard entry in the2013 edition of the contest. ThenA Dal 2016 started with her English language songStardust, but did not advance to the next stage. Benjámin Pál (lead singer of Living Room) and the Peet Project were two of the qualifiers a year before with their entriesFather's Eyes andKill Your Monster.
Ádám Szabó was in the race in several occasions before: after a quick elimination in2013, he came back in2015, and placed second in the grand final withGive Me Your Love. In2017 he sang the songTogether, and this time he is back with his electro-rock formation calledyesyes. The Matter (under the name Mushu) was a finalist in2016 withUncle Tom, and would've take part in the 2018 selection as well, but withdrew due to family issues. The band Patikadomb replaced them withJó szelet!.Reni Tolvai made her first appearance in A Dal in2012, and stayed at the first stage of the show withÉlek a szemeidben. Later she came back in2016, and advanced to the semi-finals.Tamás Vastag marked his third presence in the national selection, as he took part inA Dal 2013 withHolnaptól, and a year later withÁllj meg villág.

The final took place on 24 February 2018 where the eight entries that qualified from the semi-finals competed. The winner of the competition was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the jury determined the top four entries that would advance to the second round. The voting system for the four jurors was different from the method used in the heats and semi-finals. Each juror announced their scores after all songs had been performed rather than assigning scores following each performance and the jurors ranked their preferred top four entries and assign points in the following manner: 4 (lowest), 6, 8 and 10 (highest). The four entries with the highest total scores proceeded to the second round. In the second round, "Viszlát nyár" performed byAWS was selected as the winner via a public vote consisting of votes submitted through SMS, mobile app and online voting.[5] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, guest performers includedJoci Pápai, the winner ofA Dal 2017 and representative of Hungary in theEurovision Song Contest 2017, as well as one of the judges, Misi Mező and his band Magna Cum Laude, andGyörgy Ferenczi.

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. TheEuropean Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 29 January 2018, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Hungary was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 10 May 2018, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.[7]
Once all the competing songs for the 2018 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Hungary was set to perform in position 13, following the entry fromMalta and preceding the entry fromLatvia.[8]
Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.[9] In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.[10]
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Hungary and awarded by Hungary in the second semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:
